Rural Thursday Blog Hop at the Homestead

The idea behind this Hop is for bloggers to "share information and photos about what's currently happening in and around their rural/country/farm home." So, okay. Here we go.

Monday afternoon I looked up from my writing to see this bull elk outside our cabin. I grabbed my trusty shotgun and. . .no, no, just kidding. I grabbed my trusty camera and and began to focus. Suddenly, the bull leaped over our fence. I got the shot just as he landed.

We live 10 minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park. Wildlife is protected here.

I noticed Tuesday night, while cooking dinner, how the days are getting longer. Still light at 5:45 PM I could clearly see the horses in the corral from my window over the kitchen sink. Of course I had to grab my camera and get a shot for you.

The studio and the cabin are truly a slice of heaven. I would so LOVE that... as long as I could have my horses somewhere near as well. I love the green door and the flanking white chairs. Very pretty.

Oh how beautiful! I used to retreat to Rocky Mountain National Park to study, to daydream, to meditate, to pretend I was a mountain pioneer, and on and on. I found you via Rural Thursday, and I'm going to follow your blog to satisfy my hunger for those ol' Rocky Mountains.
